So beautiful! I think your skirt with pleats/gathers and your neckline look so much better than the crinolined skirt and off-shoulder neckline of the official Disney parks gown! The off-shoulder neckline just doesn't look right... And those mother of pearl buttons are a sweet finishing touch!

You did a fabulous job on this gown. I have to make this for my 16-year old daughter. I'm a quilter not really a clothes sewer so I have trouble with these elaborate costumes. Any tips on where to get the fabrics (we live in CT) or if there are patterns that would help get me started. Thank you.

I usually get my fabric from Fabric.com, because I live so far from fabric stores. I would check your local area to see if there were any unique fabric shops or warehouses, but if all else fails, there is always a Joann, Hancocks, or Hobby Lobby.

For pattern, I started with the Past Patterns victorian ball gown bodice pattern. But there might be something alot closer if you searched for 'Ariel' or 'Princess' in the Simplicity or one of the main pattern makers.
